There is a bobcat stashed away in a hanger at Montgomery Field in San Diego Cal The aircraft is complete and I would
guess it could be ferried. I believe it belongs to an old tech school no longer in operation. There is also a lockheed t-33 in ther same condition.

I got my first airplane ride in one of these things when I was about 13, at the Old Star Airport in Langhorne, PA. I remember it was always parked behind the hangar and when it was started it always looked like the hangar was on fire from all the smoke. That was a real thrill, especially considering that the immortal Sky King flew a Bobcat before he traded it for that wussy new-fangled Cessna 310.

The USN procured 67 JRC's which were equivalant to the USAAF UC-78. These Bobcats were used primarily as light tranports for carrying ferry pilots to and from their home bases upon completion of delivery flights.

USN Serials: 55772-55783 and 64442-64496

Am assisting in research on WASP project and I am looking
for a Cessna JRC 1 Bobcat that is flyable or still flying.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, location of
other Bobcats regardless of condition and if they are
accessible to the public. Thank you. Steven L Holloway
